Dr. Scarborough published the Reading Rope infographic in 2001 using strands of rope to illustrate the many ingredients that are involved in becoming a skilled reader. The upper strands represent ''language-comprehension'' and reinforce one another. The lower strands represent ''word-recognition'' and work together as the reader becomes accurate, fluent, and automatic through practice.
